I hate the " The Good Brother and The Bad Brother" trope (alien.top)

I see it mainly in Fantasy Books.

One Brother is the good one, he is manly, strong, don't care about riches, and have a good heart. He will be the protagonist or the protagonist friend.

The other one is the Bad Brother, he have a more weak body, have femine traits, always using fancy clothes and jewels, is less loved by others, and he is jealous. He will be the antagonist.

In a arc of >!Ranger!< this trope is reverse, which was a breath of air.

Mine are both manly, powerful, and of questionable sexuality. One is evil because he thinks his brother had everything handed to him. The other recognizes that both of them were privileged and oppressed in various ways. Better?
